O Fundamentalismo islâmico e a "espetacularização" do terrorismo através da mídia

Abstract

The term "terrorism" arose during the French Revolution and has since been used to designate situations in which violence and terror are used for political and / or ideological purposes. An interesting fact is that terrorism differs from other forms of violence because it seeks publicity for its acts, which is why the media is an important tool to expand its psychological effects, since terrorists' main objective is to impose fear and terror to reach an end. Islamic fundamentalism fits in as a religious manifestation in which its followers strictly follow what is written in the Quran and interpret certain values of Western societies as being incompatible with the Islamic laws by becoming a threat and thus triggering terrorist acts by become so radical. Terrorism became relevant at the beginning of the 21st century as it became the main threat to humanity as a result of the unpredictability of its actions and the invisibility of the terrorist. By "taking advantage" of the media, the Islamic State is able to spread and spread terror. In this way, the present work will aim to study and analyze the term "terrorism" as well as its relations with political, social and religious ideals and its relationship with the media and besides showing how one will benefit from the other. The methodology adopted was exploratory and used for literature review and bibliographical analysis of works on terrorism, Islamic Fundamentalism and the media, seeking to draw relations of dependence between these themes of several published articles, bibliographical research on authors who study the relation politics and the media to draw a relation of dependence between terrorism, politics and the media. In the end, it was observed that the achievement of the objectives of the terrorist acts depends a lot on the type of coverage made by the media and how the population will receive and react on the fact and what the political motivation of this fact, because the media will most often interpret certain events about a look that will allow the manipulation of people often acting as a catalyst for terrorism.
